Last Measure

From Free net encyclopedia

Last Measure is a shock site created by members of the Internet trolling group Gay Nigger Association of America (GNAA).

The main page plays a voice using the Flash plugin shouting, "HEY EVERYBODY, I'M LOOKING AT GAY PORNO!" at a high volume, while various famous shock site images move around in popup windows, bouncing off the sides of the screen. The voice in previous Last Measure versions was in the file fsckyou.wav.mp3 (fsck is a Unix utility that checks filesystems for consistency, but is used in this context as a modified version of the vulgarity fuck).

How it works

Last Measure abuses Macromedia Flash to make it very hard to leave the website once you visit it, short of shutting down the computer or killing the process of the web browser. It spawns pop-up windows indefinitely, effectively making the browser a forkbomb. Previous versions used JavaScript to the same end, but the growing use of pop-up blockers reduced its effectiveness, prompting the switch to Flash scripts. The latest version of Last Measure, called Last Measure Unified, includes a feature to open a large number of new e-mail message windows in the user's default email program (in most cases Outlook Express or Mozilla Thunderbird) and e-mailing the site to all the contacts listed.

Shock images included

Last Measure combines many other shock site images:

  • Tubgirl, a picture of a woman spraying fecal matter on her face.
  • Penisbird, a picture of a parrot standing on a man's erect penis.
  • Goatse.cx's hello.jpg, the infamous picture of a man stretching his anus.
  • Lemonparty, a picture of three elderly men lying on a bed naked, engaged in kissing and oral sex.
  • pillowfight.jpg, a picture of a man's genitals covered in feces.
  • spin.gif, an animated picture of a man wearing a condom having anal sex with another man. The receiving man's penis is spinning in a circle.
  • Loopback.jpg (from Goatse.cx), a picture of a man looping his penis into his anus.
  • Christmas.jpg, depicts a picture of a man opening his anus with a table clamp. His penis and testicles are also visible.
  • pooped.jpg, a picture of a woman's face with feces on it.
  • rustina.jpg, depicts the wife of Rusty Foster, creator of Kuro5hin. Her face is Photoshopped onto a picture of a naked woman having sex with a black man with a large penis.
  • eww.jpg, a picture of a young girl, with two naked people in the background, with one of the people exposing his buttocks. The text The Fuck What?! in red is visible, with the man's naked buttocks circled in a red circle.
  • freak.jpg, a picture of a naked black female body builder.
  • Some versions contain weightlifter.jpg, a picture of a powerlifter with red trousers suffering from an anal prolapse. The intestine is seen through a hole in his trousers. A Snopes article features the same image.

At the bottom of the page is the text "Lastmeasure last measure last-measure nero institute", which is an attempt to get the page listed under Google. The title of the page is "Our lawyer has informed us that we need a warning. So, if you are under the age of 18 or find this offensive, please leave immediately", which is a takeoff on the text on the front page of Goatse. On two of the Last Measure pages, the text "Like what you see? Got a complaint? Email wrt AT forpresident DOT com", is visible.

The page at Zeikfried had the title "This is my LastMeasure, my FinalHope. Lovez and kissez from Zeikfried~!" The page at peoplesprimary.com had a wide, blank image at the bottom of the screen. Below it were the words "If you have a screen larger than this i'll eat my own shit. - this button shit is +1 insightful." The "+1 insightful" comment indicates a familiarity with the rating system at Slashdot, a popular technology news site.

Pressing Ctrl or Alt, under Internet Explorer on Windows, gives the "victim" an alert message with the same text. Pressing Del gives the user the "Credits".

The Last Measure site also has a script that automates the displaying of these things, which has recently been removed from the front page of the original domain.
